Questions, answered

Will WebRun message the new hire before HR approves it?

No. It only drafts the WhatsApp welcome message and queues it for HR to review. Nothing sends to the new hire without that approval.

What does the calendar prep cover?

IT equipment setup and facilities or desk arrangements, dated ahead of the start date so both teams have time to prepare.

What if a start date moves?

The next morning's run rereads Workday, so the calendar tasks and draft message update to match the new date automatically.
